As a M3 owner, I don't want to tear off the luxury of a M3 and will like to have a weekend track car.
If I buy a new Chevrolet Camaro 2SS for track day, I can modify .....

Am I make a big mistake?

Yes!Too heavy and less suited to track use than a lot of other vehicles.If it is going to be a dedicated track car,look for an semi current race car that has all the proper safety stuff already in it.There are some great deals out there right now.

Or living so close to Ottawa & Calabogie why not just get involved with the Mustang program at the track.Car is always ready and keeping it running is taken care for you.At the price they charge you does not cover the costs of running my M3 around the track.They also have a program where you have fractional ownership & own the car after 3 years.They are very good people up there and I intend to be up there much more next year than I have been the last couple of years.I love that Place

I think that is probally a smart move.Living in Ottawa definatly would also help make this decision easier and you will have way too much fun

+1 and you dont have to worry about trailering a car and the costs associated with that if you a track car that is not street legal. I think they have a great little program going there and it sounds like they are going to continue to develop it!
